る。FIG. 1 is an enlarged perspective view showing the vicinity of the lower entrance / exit 2 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof. As shown in both figures, the lower floor F1 has a horizontal horizontal boarding / alighting floor 9 continuous with the floor surface, and a tilting angle smaller than the tilting angle θa of the treading surface 4 provided on the treading surface 4 side of the horizontal loading / unloading floor 9. θb
An inclined boarding / alighting floor 10 having a slope and a comb 11 having a tooth tip that is fixed to the tip end of the sloped floor 10 on the side of the tread 4 and meshes with an uneven portion formed in the traveling direction of the surface of the tread 4 are provided. . The comb 11 has its upper end formed with a downward inclination angle of about 5 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane, and its lower end has an angle substantially equal to the inclination angle θa of the tread 4. Here, the inclination angle θa of the tread 4
(The angle of the chain double-dashed line Z in FIG. 3) is 12 degrees, and the inclination angle θb of the sloping floor 10 is 10 degrees or less, specifically 3 degrees.
The slope is set to about 100 degrees and has a gentle slope between the horizontal horizontal loading / unloading floor 9 and the tread 4, that is, a gentle slope of 1 / 1.3 as compared with the conventional structure having no inclined loading / unloading floor 10. Is forming. As described above, when the inclination angle θb of the sloped floor 10 is about 3 degrees and the inclination angle of the tip upper surface of the comb 11 is 5 degrees, the relative angle θc of the surface of the sloped floor 10 with respect to the horizontal plane is 177 degrees, and the comb with respect to the horizontal plane.

で踏面４に乗り込むので、コーム１１は強度の観点より
も、乗り込み方向の長さを短縮できる点で有利である。Therefore, in order to use the passenger conveyor in the upward direction, a passenger who arrives at the lower entrance / exit 2 while walking is suddenly boarded from the horizontal horizontal boarding / alighting floor 9 onto the tread 4 having an inclination angle of 12 ° as in the conventional case. Instead, first of all, the user moves while walking from the horizontal horizontal boarding / alighting floor 9 to the tilting boarding / alighting floor 10 having a gentler inclination angle than the tread 4, and then gets on the tread 4. For this reason, the rate of change of the inclination angle of the passenger on the traveling path is smaller than in the past, and even a passenger pushing the cart can safely board. Further, the comb 11 has a large relative angle θe, and can be made smaller in the boarding direction than when the comb 11 has a small relative angle θe. That is, when the relative angle θe of the comb 11 is increased, the length in the boarding direction can be shortened and the tip of the comb 11 can be used as a tooth tip that meshes with the surface uneven portion of the tread 4, and the comb 11 is manufactured from a synthetic resin material. Can also have sufficient strength. Moreover, since the lower surface of the tip of the comb 11 is formed at an angle substantially equal to the inclination angle θa of the tread 4, the strength of the comb 11 can be sufficiently increased. However, in general, passengers are required to incline 10
Since the tread 4 that is moving from above is checked while riding on the tread 4 while straddling the comb 11, the comb 11 is advantageous in that the length in the boarding direction can be shortened in terms of strength.

の乗客コンベアを得ることができる。Further, paying attention to the tread surface 4 near the lower entrance / exit 2, as shown in FIG. 2, the tread surface 4 has a predetermined inclination angle θ.
It is configured to be linearly introduced into the lower machine room 7 below the horizontal boarding / alighting floor 9 and the tilting boarding / alighting floor 10 at a, and there is no inclination angle change portion in the vicinity of the lower boarding / alighting gate 2. In accordance with this, the guide rail 12 that guides the plurality of treads connected to form the tread 4 is also configured to linearly guide to the lower machine room 7 at a predetermined inclination angle θa. For this reason, the drive vehicle 7A arranged in the lower machine room 7 has a predetermined inclination angle θ.
When a force F indicated by a downward arrow along the line a is applied by a tension applying means such as a spring, a tension force along the arrangement direction is easily applied to a chain or the like (not shown) connecting the treads. can do. On the other hand, in the conventional passenger conveyor without the sloping boarding / alighting floor 10, since the bent portion is formed on the tread surface in the lower machine room 7 and the end portion is horizontal, the drive vehicle 7A arranged in the lower machine room 7 is When a force is applied to the tread surface 4 in order to apply a predetermined tension force to a chain or the like (not shown) that connects the treads to each other,
Therefore, it is necessary to form a bent portion having a large curvature, and thus the length of the lower machine room 7 must be increased. However, the tread 4 has a predetermined inclination angle θ as described above.
Since the structure is linearly introduced into the lower machine room 7 at a, the length of the lower machine room 7 can be shortened and a small passenger conveyor can be obtained with a simple structure.

る。The comb 24 has a tooth tip which meshes with an uneven portion formed on the surface of the tread 8 in the running direction. The comb 24 is formed such that the tip upper surface thereof intersects the horizontal surface at a downward inclination angle of about 5 degrees, in other words, an upper surface that intersects the tread surface 8 of 12 degrees at 17 degrees. The lower end of the tip of the comb 24 is formed substantially parallel to the tread surface 8.

ている乗客であっても安全に乗り込むことができる。With the above-mentioned structure, the passengers who arrive at the lower floor 3 while walking while using the inclined passenger conveyor 1 in the upward direction suddenly hit the tread 8 having an inclination angle of 12 degrees as in the conventional case. Instead of getting on the vehicle, first, the user walks from the horizontal floor 22 of the lower getting-on / off floor 5 to the inclined floor 23 having a gentler inclination angle than the tread 8, and then gets on the tread 8. As a result, the rate of change in the traveling direction of the passenger becomes smaller than in the past, and even a passenger pushing the cart can safely board.

利である。The comb 24 has a large relative angle θe. The fact that this relative angle θe is large means that
It means that the angle with respect to the tread 8 is large.
The fact that the angle with respect to is large means that the length of the comb 24 in the moving direction can be short and can be made small. As a result, even if the comb 24 is made of a synthetic resin material, it can have sufficient strength. However, generally, the passenger rides on the tread 8 while straddling the comb 24 while checking the tread 8 moving from the sloping floor 23. Therefore, the comb 24 is advantageous in that the length in the moving direction can be shortened rather than the strength. Is.

There is no change part of the inclination angle below the lower boarding / alighting floor 5. In accordance with this, the guide rail 15 that guides the plurality of connected treads 7 is also configured to linearly guide to the lower machine room 11 at the inclination angle θa. Therefore, the driven vehicle 12 arranged in the lower machine room 11
Is the force F indicated by the downward arrow along the line of the inclination angle θa.

大する問題があった。On the other hand, in the conventional inclined type passenger conveyor, the tread surface extending below the lower loading / unloading floor is bent horizontally in the lower machine room to extend horizontally so as to be parallel to the lower loading / unloading floor. In order to be able to apply a predetermined tension force to the tread chain that connects the treads to each other when a force is applied to the driven vehicle that is placed in the lower machine room, the horizontal direction There has been a problem that the curvature of the tread surface to be bent to be increased must be increased, and as a result, the length of the lower machine room is increased.

And the inclined portion 20 and the gently changing portion 21 located between them.
And are formed. That is, the lower horizontal portion 1
As shown in FIG. 1, the reference numeral 9 designates a horizontal floor 22 and a sloping floor 2 of the lower loading / unloading floor 5 from an upper portion corresponding to the end skirt guard 25.
The distance L 1 portion corresponding to the boundary portion Y between the three is configured to be substantially horizontal, and the inclined portion 20 of the balustrade 13 starts from a position closer to the tread surface 6 side than the tip end portion of the comb 24 and has the same inclination as the tread surface 6. The gradual change portion 21 has a portion corresponding to the distance L 2 between the lower horizontal portion 19 and the inclined portion 20 as a gradual change portion due to a curved portion having a large radius of curvature. .
